Proposal of Policy for Mirroring on IRR 2003/08/21 APNIC Junichi Matsumoto Japan Telecom Co., Ltd. JPNIC IRR-Planning Team
Goal One of our goals to improve IRR’s utility is: • To realize hierarchical mirroring topology. • NIRs receive all database from one RIR. • NIRs advertise its database bymirroring one RIR. APNIC ARIN RIPE IRR A NIR’s IRR A receives RIRs’ whole database from APNIC ・・・ LIR’s ・・・ LIR’s LIR’s ・・・
Problem A problem of this topology is: = An IRR’s database spreads unlimitedly under this topology. APNIC ARIN RIPE IRR A would like to limit the receivers of its database IRR A’s database is transferred to each IRR when mirroring How does IRR A prevent LIRs propagating A’s database if A wants? LIR’s IRR A LIR’s NO WAY! IRR IRR IRR
It is not effective unless all RIRs/NIRs obey this rule! Solution Therefore…Making a new rule to limit spreading of IRR database →RIRs’/NIRs’ IRR limit LIRs’ to transfer their databases! A RIR make a LIR agree with this rule IRR A limits receivers of A’s database by LIRs of each region RIRs have this new rule Private IRRs are limited to receive A’s database APNIC ARIN RIPE However… LIR’s IRR A LIR’s IRR IRR IRR
e.g.) JPNIC APNIC NIR Proposal • A registry managing database should have “Distributing Policy,” and the registry makes other IRRs obey the policy when mirroring. IRR A has “distributing policy” IRR B must obey “distributing policy” IRR C must obey “distributing policy” IRR B IRR A IRR C Source: IRR A mirror Source: IRR A Source: IRR A mirror
Distributing policy • The right of distributing IRR’s database is limited by RIR/NIR. RIR/NIR require LIR to obey this policy when mirroring. • This policy is applied if and only if the source of database’s IRR wishes. • Some IRRs do not care the limitation of spreading database
New mirror Process IRR A(APNIC) IRR B(JPNIC) IRR C(LIR) Source: IRR A Source: IRR A Source: IRR A (IRR A applies Distributing Policy to A’s database, and IRR B obeys A’s Distributing Policy.) • IRR C asks IRR B to mirror and transfer A’s database. 2. IRR B informs IRR C that IRR A applies Distributing Policy 3. IRR B requires IRR C to obey Distributing Policy. At this time, IRR B might require IRR C to submit the agreement. 4. IRR B allows IRR C to get A’s database by the new mirror.
Sample Policy JPNIC policy • JPNIC applies “Distributing Policy” to JPIRR database. • JPNIC requires JP region’s LIRs’ to submit a letter to obey this policy when mirroring with JPNIC. • For details: http://www.nic.ad.jp/en/ip/irr/ jpirr-mirroring-policy.html
Implementation • This proposal will be implemented until 2nd Quarter 2004 if we reach a consensus. • This proposal implemented by all RIRs/NIRs. • Do we need to travel other regions’ policy meetings to recognize this?
